God is with you to turn your sorrow into Joy



"Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy." - John 16:20 

There are times in life when everything seems to go wrong, and everyone you rely on, everyone you thought was there to support you, leaves you. This is a moment where your heart is filled with sorrow.

But perhaps you're someone whom God has blessed with family and friends who love and care for you. Yet, there are times when even those close to you fail to help, and you find yourself lonely and helpless. They may be unable to solve your problem because they're tired, they've helped you a lot but there's been no change, or perhaps your problem is beyond their capabilities, so they can't help you.

In times like these, remember that Jesus hasn't left you; He is with you. Jesus is our closest friend who is with us throughout our life's journey.

You may have someone close to you, perhaps a parent, a partner, a sibling, or a friend who truly loves you and is there for you in every situation, encouraging and comforting you. But because they are humans, they cannot change your situation. Jesus is different. Jesus is with you to save you and to change your situation; He is there to turn your sorrow into joy.

If you're going through many challenges and sorrows in your life, these are God's promises to you:

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I am the one who helps you.'" (Isaiah 41:10,13 ESV) 

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." (Isaiah 43:2 ESV) 

Prayer: Thank you, God, for your faithfulness to me, for you are with me always and in every situation to save me. I believe you will turn every kind of sorrow in my life into joy. Amen.

THE TIME TO RECEIVE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR IS NOW

  “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 NKJV This is a powerful word of hope as you begin this month.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
